It is when we begin to glory in the Cross of Christ
and the finished work of the Cross that we encounter opposition.
His Cross does everything we cannot do.
It brings the rule of the first Adam (self) to an end.
It reveals the resurrection life of the second Adam (Jesus).
The Cross is an offense to many for it is a path of complete dependency upon The Lord Jesus.
Everything that is desired and required by God is only available at The Cross. It is our daily experience.
(Rom 10:4 Moffatt NT) Now Christ is an end to law, so as to let every believer have righteousness.
